I've heat set a total of 16 shed framing ribs, which was the sum total of the #283-4-5 Evergreen H Columns I could lay my hands on locally. I set up two pieces of balsa from another project along the sides of Grand Central and drilled them to match the length of glass panels left over from a Faller train shed kit (see La Salle station build).[IMG][/IMG]

Yesterday, I got back to work (er, RE-laxation) by finally getting tired of attaching the station walls to the skeleton each time I wanted to contemplate (AD-mire)the progress. I knew this was a no turn back point, but that's what the hobby is at times. So the multiple walls were (super)glued together. I'll admit that not everything came together square, but I was very surprised that as much did given the "clothespin" nature of my trial fitting.

I'm still on the mock-up phase of the Grand Central Station build. Made a foam core bone structure that I clip walls to as I complete them. These Brick sheets will also have an underlayment of art matte board, so essentially, every wall gets cut out twice.
